Our daughter (3) has been a student at PMAR since August 2016. She came to PMAR requiring special assistance due to muscle weakness. This school (teachers AND directors) went ABOVE AND BEYOND to accommodate her needs. The staff at PMAR is incredibly generous with their time and committed to the success of every child that enters their doors. We are always greeted with a warm smile when my child enters the school and it continues throughout the day. I feel that all of the children and parents are treated with respect and dignity. My child enjoys going to PMAR. I have seen tremendous growth since she started. The teachers are first-rate! I have watched our daughter develop into a confident, self-sufficient, and gracious little girl. As an educator, I know every Montessori school is slightly different, but these teachers at PMAR are very consistent with the traditional teaching methods of Maria Montessori. These children don’t simply survive; they THRIVE! We are proud parents of Pinnacle Montessori at Alamo Ranch!

Our 5 year old has attended for almost 2 years and we LOVE it. Our second child is there too as an infant. Theyre starting lower elementary (1st to 3rd) and we decided to stay. I hope they add on upper elementary. We have seen so much progress with our daughter. Shes learning so much and LOVES to go to school. Weve had questions here and there, but theyve all been addressed quickly to our satisfaction. I love their program where they alternate between Parents Lesson Night (the kids teach the parents to show what theyve learned) and Parents Education Night (where the staff explains the lessons to the parents). It really helps parents who are new to their teaching model understand it more and see their kids perform. There was what appeared to be some high turnover early on, but it was more with assistant teachers and it was not a long-term issue. The staff is great at communicating with parents and always open to suggestions for feedback.

My child has been at Pinnacle since it opened and despite a few kinks at the beginning with changes in directors and teachers, overall we truly feel peace of mind with her being there. She is happy to attend every morning, loves her teachers, and misses being there when we are on breaks. I guide myself with how she responds and her level of comfort there and it has always been 100% positive. She is learning so much! The director and assistant director are excellent and always willing to help and clarify for the parents. They have a watch me grow camera system that allows me to view my child through the day which is a huge plus for me. We highly recommend this school to those seeking a student-centered and self-motivated learning environment.

Our kids have been attending for about 8 months now and I just cant say enough great things about this school. We love the culture of montessori and both our kids are thriving. The teachers are very caring and patient and our kids love them. They look forward to going to school and sometimes dont even want to leave! Ive also been impressed with the level of planning and communication from the director and assistant director. We were thrilled to hear that they will be starting a lower elementary program and hope that it will expand into upper elementary as well.

Our daughters have been here for almost 3 years. The teachers and staff are great, they have gone out of their way on many occasions to make themselves an extension of our family. We are very comfortable leaving our children in their care and they are learning a lot while there. They could spell their names by the time they were 2, my 4 year old brings home books to read every night and is able to read it on her own. Shes learning science and math as well. Class time is calm, productive, and effective. I love the Montessori method.

I LOVE PMAR! My sweet daughter has been going there for a year now and they have been very accommodating to her special needs and our family circumstances. I cant say enough about Ms Karen and Ms Annie. I recommend them to everyone who will listen. Everyday my daughter wakes up asking if she gets to see Ms Annie today. The school is always clean, staff is always friendly and the goals they have for the children are perfect for building self-esteem and school readiness!

My son has been attending Pinnacle Montessori for almost a year now. I cannot say enough good things! I have been so pleased with our experiences. Each day when I drop him off, I know that the teachers and other employees truly care about his well-being. His language and development have blossomed during his time at Pinnacle. He is learning social skills, manners, letters, songs, and more! He really seems to love his little school and I do too.

My daughter has been attending PMAR since 2015 and just completed the preprimary (18mo-3yrs) level there. The teachers and staff were amazing and always made me feel welcome when I arrived. At drop-off, my daughter would run off into her classroom to hug her teachers and friends without even saying goodbye to me! My daughter has grown and learned so much in these past two years thanks to the care, attention, and education shes received at Pinnacle.

PMAR is awesome!!! Our 4 month old son has been there for a month now and he very much enjoys his classmates and teachers. The teachers have made the transition for my son very smooth and they work hard to keep the children happy and healthy. The teachers are super loving and interactive with all the students. I am very pleased with Pinnacle Montessori at Alamo Ranch!!!

My daughter has been attending for 6 mos, from the age of 18 mos and I feel the school is doing an excellent job. The teachers and staff are very caring and welcoming and really have the best interests of the children. They are accommodating to parents schedules and my daughter is learning great habits and skills. Excellent and highly recommended.

Our daughter has been going there for a little over a year. We have seen such an improvement not only her social skills, but also in her growth and development. Staff goes out of their way to help you and inform you of what is going on in the school. We couldnt imagine sending our daughter anywhere else in the area.

My daughter has been attending since Jan 2016 and has truly blossomed. We had her in a different school before and she would come home every day upset and tearful. At Pinnacle, she truly enjoys her days and comes home chatting all about the fun she has had with her teachers and friends! Im glad we made the switch!

Pinnacle Montessori has been extremely beneficial for our son. All of the teachers, administrators, and care takers that Ive encountered there with my son are kind, compassionate, and dedicated to the development of all the children who go there.
